What is your honest White Wall tire opinion for the 1970 Cadillac

[Bill Balkie 24172]

Hello ,
   I would like to know what 1970  Cadillac owners think of the three tires you might see on your average  70 Cadillac .  Try to not let price  be the determining factor.
   You have your standard Whitewall , Your  Classic Vogue tire. Or the White Wall stripped tire  that was featured on the 70 Cadillac . Try to forget about the make and the cost . What looks best in your opinion on the car .
 
    Thanks,
         Bill

All three look good but, for my cars I always go with the period advertising of the car.....I'd go with the last one...

Top photo is what a 1970 had on it when new.   

Bottom photo:  Diamondback sells a similar radial tire (slightly wider stripe) so you can have the old look with safety and comfort.

I am about to order 2 sets of 1970 tires in the proper stripe configuration.  They will make these in whatever strip configuration you want.  I have some original spares to measure from.

Maybe we can get a deal on 3 sets Bill.

Hello Brian,
      I would be interested in a set of 5  . Diamond back 235/75R15 (Auburn's style  (A )small ring outside Diameter . The last time I checked they were about 250.00 each with a 16 week turnaround . I will go in with you Brian .  Let me know what you find out .  I am ready to do it .

The last time I checked they were about 250.00 each with a 16 week turnaround .

I just received the set I ordered for my 77 Lincoln.   Turn around time is 3-4 weeks depending on how far you need them shipped.    The Lincoln dual stripes are $269.    I think the Cadillac ones are less. At the time the Auburn tires were on back order so they offered me Toyos as the base tire.  Which are just as nice.   I think Rusty at DB tire said they had more Auburns coming in June sometime.

   I have some original spares to measure from.   Brian.

That's what I did for my 68 Eldorado too.  I was happy with the results.

I also like the correct double stripe appearance as well.

Dual stripe... Diamond Backs... And I'm riding on Toyo's, no problem with them.

Bill,
The Vogue tire was the epitome of Cadillac's "luxury" in the 70's.  Dealers featured them and sold an awful lot.  I personally don't recall seeing vogues on anything but Cadillacs in that era.

Hello ,
    Actually I think they all look pretty good .  The advertised tire is very unique . And it is amazing in my opinion it is available  50 years later . I am leaning towards the 1970 stock double ring white wall .

Bill, you should pick the tire you like the look of!

If you are not going to have your Caddy judged at a Concourse event, install the ones that fit correctly and are safe and you like them.

I am English and lived here since 84' and I love the big wide wall tires on our 57' Thunderbird and the 75' Eldorado.

I love the American Classics on our Eldo. They need a little more attention but look great!

Maybe I will install them on our Jeep Commander!! (just kidding!).

It is personal preference!

Hello Gary ,
    You are absolutly right . You can put any tire you want on your car. Just wanted to get a feel from 70 caddy owners and their opinions . That double stripped tire is correct for the car  and i like it .

I would go with the first one for two reasons. Personally I think it looks the best and secondly it is the easiest to clean.
